The METRO Board of Directors approved a measure that will extend METRO’s service hours on Friday night/Saturday morning and Saturday night/Sunday morning until past 2 a.m. The measure was brought before the Board as result of both passenger feedback and input from businesses along the line.
Beginning as early as July 1, METRO will offer its last full trip of the day at 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday mornings, arriving at the opposite end of the line at 3 p.m. METRO will continue to provide 20-minute service in this extended period.
The estimated fiscal and maintenance impact for extended weekend service is $254,500 annually to the METRO operating budget.
The Board also stipulated that an evaluation of ridership and costs associated with the service extension occur after six months.
